GrowMaster Albury Specialise in Daylilies

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are surely the easiest and most rewarding plants to grow and we love them. With stems of clusters of flowers opening one by one over a period of weeks, the ongoing show can be enjoyed from mid November until well into summer. Many varieties repeat the performance in autumn.

Daylilies grow as strappy-foliaged, clumping plant. They enjoy a full (or part) sun position in the garden and are drought tolerant. However with mulch, a good soak once or twice a week and fertiliser such as Patio Magic, Nurserymen’s Blend Plant Food or Grow Better Organic in late winter and late summer, you will be rewarded with more blooms for an even longer period.

Divide clumps every four years preferably in autumn. Though virtually pest and disease free, snails, slugs and aphids may occasionally need deterring.

Enjoy your Daylilies; they’re such care-free and appealing flowers that it’s easy to be beguiled by their charms.

Pictured here is a small sample of our range. Come in and see them in real life in our display garden. We sell Daylilies potted and in flower right throughout the year and take orders for bare-rooted plants for autumn collection. Click each picture to see a large view in a new window.
